I've got a 2010 and Brad's resistors worked fine for me.

Yeah those are what I have for my 20 Base.
Mine has three warnings: the red steady on icon that you have, a center warning that pops up every 3 seconds between the tach and speedo and is the most annoying thing ever, and then a soft amber steady on warning triangle in the menu area of the center dash display.
BH dongle eliminated them all.
Sounds like you got a defective one. Did you try swapping them to the other side (ie left to right and right to left) just to see if that does anything?

Going to be towing a UHaul trailer with an ATV on it this Saturday. Ordered up an adjustable drop hitch to account for the difference in height between the GX's hitch (Curt one, not OEM) and the UHaul tongue height. Might not need the adjustability, but better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it... and my old receiver/ball were probably from 2010, so it was time for a replacement regardless
I have a base GX, and the shift knob is the most welfare feeling contraption ever. Plastic and... maybe like a harder vinyl? I don't know. It looks stupid and feels awful in the hand.
Kind of on a whim I bought the 2020-2023 GX knob from Teton Workshop, which is basically a big ol' chunk of aluminum with some color-changeable scales on each side. I got mine black / black. $89 shipped direct from Teton Workshop, after a discount.
It's pretty nice. I had a friend who would refer to (non anatomical) things that felt good and made you want to touch them as "chewy", and this thing is chewy as hell. Has a good bit of weight to it, so manual shifting in S mode feels more solid and positive than with the weightless plastic OEM knob. The OEM boot also clips into this knob and is much more secure latching than it was on the OEM knob.
I'm not a bling kind of guy but I'm digging this thing. Wish I had a manual T case so I could buy another one!
I also got in the parts I needed to get my awning mounted up on the GX. I have had a 6.5' ARB awning for a while, on a few different vehicles. I only mount it up for trips.
I used the ARB angle brackets (which IMO are about the best brackets you can buy for hanging an awning and they are cheap, like $15 each) mounted upside down with a spacer on top of a set of Inno square bars, mounted to Inno towers and tower clips, on the OEM roof rails. Awning clears the opened doors by about 2".
I don't intend to run anything else on the roof but the bars give me the option to do so if I want, and clip on and off pretty fast for moving kayaks and stuff when the awning isn't attached to the bars.
I prefer the passenger side mount even though the hatch door opens that direction., but it's not super inconvenient to just walk around.
Plus, carabiner (and red flag to remind me it is there) to shut off the beeping when the rear hatch window is open!

Can't decide if I like that shifter knob or not. I did change out the knob on my previous FJ, but haven't seen anything that hits me yet. Tinkerer has one

Yes actually I had considered that Tinkerer knob but I didn't really like the Velcro stuff, and it was too "knurled" for my liking if that makes sense.Can't decide if I like that shifter knob or not.

Very "industrial" looking, and looks good for that style. For me, it's not really my style, but it is really good looking!

Love your idea about the carabiner in the rear hatch as a reminder. When we haul our longboards (surfboards), I just trip it with my Leatherman and have to remember to push the button when we're ready to close it again.
Heck, going to do that right now! I have a bunch of miscellaneous carabiners lying around.
My little plastic trim piece that goes on the bottom of the Alibaba tail lights flew off on the highway... I'm not having any luck whatsoever trying to find a replacement.

Have you taken it to the dealer?
I haven't. I bought it used from a Toyota dealer and I don't think this is part of the remaining factory warranty (both Lexus or the soft one my dealer gave me). Next time I go in i'll try to remember to ask them to take a look.
Given 3 of us responded that it happens, I wonder if there's some TSB or something out there on it... doubt it due to being cosmetic, but never know.
Mine also did that on the OEM knob, but doesn't do it now with the aftermarket knob. Clicks right in and locks into place.

This was one of the myriad of little things Willis Lexus fixed for me. It occasionally still pops out but only if my dumb-ass puts something there i shouldn't or the dogs jump on it. 65+ lbs of husky gonna do all sorts of fun stuff
Is there a front engine skid plate with a trap door to change the oil filter without having to remove the entire plate? I was planning on getting an RCI as I've had previously on my 4Runner - but their website indicates you still have to remove the entire plate to access the oil filter and the trap door is not useable for the GX models.
Any other brands that offer a useable trap door? Looking for 1/4" aluminum.

i would double check the first in service date to see if you have the 4 yr bumper to bumper.
